Remote
written by: Brindha Venkataramani
A device in my hand
Every button I press, the channel flips
Dramas playing the emotions
I see what I want to see
I continue watching,
being part of the game:
some adventurous,
Some thrilling,
some making me cry,
some mystery filled,
some even mystical.
I tune in and tune out of the reel life
In sync with my moods
Now in my real life, I have a universal remote
well designed to be operated by many
I never realised I gave every control
to that many
Now I know not who controls what aspect of me
I am all perplexed in misery!
Then comes a Guru who tells me a secret
that no one knows
The universal remote receives infra red
I just need to learn to tune out
I shall not let the secret spill
The many around me still
Try ever so hard to control me
But they can only see
One picture of me
That’s truly a Happy me
